YOU ASKED AND WE DELIVERED
To minimize their CO2 footprint, airports all over the world are currently replacing diesel powered GSE equipment by battery powered. This goes for busses, baggage loaders, pushback tractors and many other pieces of equipment.
ITW GSE is therefore proud to announce the launch of it’s 7400 JetEx 28 VDC battery powered ground power unit. Contrary to other 28 VDC battery GPUs on the market, the 7400 JetEx has a very high battery capacity that allows for days of use before it needs to be recharged. Actually, it is powerful enough to perform at least 100 starts on a full charge. Besides, the voltage quality delivered is simply excellent!
Much to the benefit of operators and staff, the purely battery powered 7400 JetEx GPU is super quiet and it neither causes NOx nor CO2 emissions. This makes the eGPU ideal for hangars and for remote use, too.

Apart from providing a comfortable working environment, the ITW GSE 7400 JetEx 28 VDC also limits your running costs, because it does not contain any rotating parts, subject to wear and tear. It is therefore a perfect addition to any ground support equipment fleet.
The JetEx can provide power to aircraft like the Cessna Citation, Beechcraft, Gulfstream, Dassault Falcon Jet, ATR 42 and ATR 72, Bombardier Q Series / Dash 8 and other aircraft as well.
Worth mentioning is that the JetEx is so small that it can easily pass under an aircraft wing. It can be charged from any 50/60 Hz socket, it can supply power and be recharged at the same time and it is Compliant to the California Energy Commission.
What’s not to like about the new addition to the ITW GSE battery family that already counts for a 400 Hz eGPU with a rating of 90 kVA and which will soon be completed with a 180 kVA unit as well.
So, let’s not follow the trend – let’s set it!

2022 Charlotte Douglas International Airport Report of Achievement
Giving back to the community is central to what Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its operator, the City of Charlotte Aviation Department, is about, and last year was no different.
Throughout 2022, while recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued our efforts to have a positive impact on the Charlotte community. Of particular note, we spent the year sharing stories of how Connections Don't Just Happen at the Terminal - from creating homeownership and employment opportunities to supporting economic growth through small-business development and offering outreach programs to help residents understand the Airport better.
This whitepaper highlights the construction projects, initiatives, programs and events that validate Charlotte Douglas as a premier airport.
